Robotics Software Engineer
OpenAIAbout the Team
Our Robotics team is focused on unlocking general-purpose robotics and pushing towards AGI-level intelligence in dynamic, real-world settings. Working across the entire model stack, we integrate cutting-edge hardware and software to explore a broad range of robotic form factors. We strive to seamlessly blend high-level AI capabilities with the constraints of physical systems to improve peoples’ lives.
About the Role
We're seeking talented Robotics Software Engineers to expand our robotics data collection and evaluation program. This highly technical role involves designing, implementing, and optimizing software solutions across diverse robotics hardware. You'll work closely and collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams; including software, hardware, research, and operations - to drive advancements in our robotic systems.
This role is based in San Francisco, CA, and requires in-person 4 days a week.
In this role, you will:
Help develop and grow our data collection labs, owning the entire integration lifecycle, from identifying and sourcing new hardware to collaborating with mechanical and electrical engineers on setup, software integration, and operational deployment.
Develop innovative robot control interfaces suited to a variety of morphologies, environments, and tasks.
Collaborate closely with research and engineering teams to develop automation tools and machinery that facilitate the evaluation of advanced robotic policies.
Lead the design and implementation of data collection, visualization, and quality control processes.
You might thrive in this role if you:
Have 5+ years of professional software engineering experience developing and shipping production-quality systems in robotics or hardware-integrated environments.
Have extensive experience integrating and deploying industrial automation systems, off-the-shelf robotics platforms, or custom hardware into production environments.
Bring hands-on experience delivering production-quality software within collaborative, cross-functional engineering teams.
Have strong proficiency in Rust or C++.
